Overall Research Project Description:
The student will assist graduate research assistants in studying how the tropical Pacific Ocean has been changing from pre-anthropogenic to modern times using the geochemistry of coral skeletons as a natural archive of ocean temperature and hydrology. The student will work in a laboratory setting collecting and analyzing geochemical data in the skeletons of fossil corals.


Research Tasks:
Tasks may include literature and data review, drilling and imaging coral samples, using various analytical instrumentations, microscope work, and assisting graduate students in a variety of tasks. 



Skills that research assistant(s) may need::
research assistants are required to have strong written and oral communications skills. It is recommended that research assistants are organized, highly attentive to detail, and timely. I see mentoring as a web, where everyone is entitled to and encouraged to have multiple mentors that will fit various needs. As a mentor, I seek to aid a mentee in their development as a researcher and individual to display their progress in a positive light and will aid the student in their future aspirations and ambitions towards pursuing their individual goals. I will discuss information with the mentee in an honest and direct manner and encourage my mentee to not only recognize the big picture.
